OCTOBER
HIGHLIGHTS
IT'S TOLUNAWEEN TIME - NO TRICKS, JUST TREATS!
It's the spooky season, and whether you celebrate Halloween or
not, it's a great way to get some bonus points on Toluna.
There are no tricks involved, just treats!
survey treat
For every survey you complete between 14-31 October, you'll
receive an additional 100 points. To qualify, you must complete at
least two surveys worth 1,000 points or more during this period.
Click here and take a survey today!
redemption treat
Redeem your points for rewards between 14-31 October, and
you'll receive 100 bonus points for every 10,000 points redeemed.
You may just be one or two surveys away from a redemption, so
take advantage of this offer and the survey bonus while you can!

game treat
A fun game is now available in our Games Centre. In this game,
you have to hit the monsters before they go back into hiding.
However, be careful of Luna - the sheep and Toluna mascot!
The mummy, vampire and Frankenstein's monster can be
vanquished with just one hit, but the jack-o-lantern will require
two hits.
You have five lives per game. If you hit Luna or miss a monster,
you'll lose a life. The game will last 60 seconds but will be cut
short if you lose all five lives. Play once per day through to 31
October. If your best score is among the top ten, you'll win
10,000 points!

OPINIONS FROM
COVID-19 HAS CREATED AN
IMPETUS FOR SMOKERS TO QUIT
SOONER RATHER THAN LATER. WE
ASKED WHETHER THE PANDEMIC
HAS ALSO CAUSED YOU TO TAKE
BETTER CARE OF YOURSELF.
36% of Kiwi members said they are looking
after themselves more than before, whilst 10%
said they are taking less care of themselves.
Another 44% said there has been no change.
"DOOMSCROLLING" REFERS TO
CONTINUAL SCROLLING THROUGH
BAD NEWS, EVEN THOUGH IT IS
SADDENING, DISHEARTENING, OR
DEPRESSING. DO YOU THINK YOU
HAVE BECOME ADDICTED TO BAD
NEWS?
10% of NZ members said they are addicted to bad
news, and 21% said they doomscroll as a means of
staying informed. 27% said they seek a balance of
good and bad news, whilst 34% know when to
stop and take care of their mental health.
THE MARKET FOR DESIGNERS
DOGS IS THRIVING, WITH
BREEDERS CHARGING UP TO
$15,000 FOR POODLES MIXED
WITH OTHER BREEDS. DO YOU
THINK THEY ARE WORTH THE
COST?
31% of Kiwi members believe they are worth
it, whilst 22% think breeders are wrong for
charging so much. Another 29% are not
concerned about the breed, and would
prefer to adopt from an animal shelther.

THE COMMUNITY
Don't forget that you could receive 300 points if your comments are
featured in our magazine. Check out our Topics by clicking on
"Recommended" after logging into the Toluna website.
WITH THE PANDEMIC STILL
AFFECTING MOST COUNTRIES
AROUND THE WORLD, IT'S
UNCERTAIN WHETHER NEW
YEAR'S EVE CELEBRATIONS AND
FIREWORKS WILL GO AHEAD.
SHOULD THEY BE CANCELLED?
FROSTYMANGO SAYS:
No, life should continue despite the virus still being around. Perhaps
think of different ways to bring the experience to the elderly and people
with weakened immune system e.g. via online livestream
VANNAH SAYS:
No cancelling fireworks! Surley they can be done and ones near by can
watch from home, or people can stay in their cars and then you could
have an outdoor movie as well and go till early morning instead of
ruining tradition make it a year to remember.
JONENE5282 SAYS:
We could do something as a mark of respect for those we have lost this
year. Coupled with something to give hope and encouragement for the
year ahead. Difficult times call for difficult measures. We should all be
prepared to do our bit, even if it is just positively accepting that things
are different now, and some things we hold dear may need to change.
KAZZBA007 SAYS:
Waste of money and I’m sure the greenies and those woke youngsters
would be against it too
